    I am getting fake virus alerts called Your PC Protector. It has completely locked up my computer where I am unable to download anything to remove it.

    Everything I try on the "Read me and run first" thread, a pop up says "Running of application is impossible. The file (gives the name of what I'm trying to open) is infected. Please activate your antivirus program."

    I also cannot open Add or Remove programs.

    I have Super Anti-Spyware Professional and Malware Bytes and neither of them will run. I get the same error message.

    I'm not sure how to attach logs to show you the problems.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Hi there and welcome. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
    Are you absolutely sure that NOTHING will run, because you only commented on MBAM and SAS. You made no mention of RootRepeal, Combofix or MGTools.

    You also didn't tell me whether or not you were able to run scans in safemode. Only try using safemode if all of the above mentioned programs do not run in normal mode. I have some other things for you to try if the above doesn't get us anywhere.
    I didn't think you had any logs from how you were talking? Attach what logs you do have into your next post.
